Hey
What about the VRM cooler? Is it noisy? Is it turned off in idle?
I have seen someone mount the Scythe Big Shuriken 3 rev.B with the heatsink over the VRM instead of the RAM, were you not able to mount it this way?
Noctua NH-L9a AM4 does NOT fit with AM5 mounting kit.

What seems to be the problem? I’ve used the L9a AM4 with Noctua’s AM5 mounting kit with the B650E-I. I’ve also published a build with this setup: https://youtu.be/gy2vT5cFlEg
